Sports promoter Eddie Hearn says there is “no chance” the contract for a proposed all-British heavyweight world title fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will be signed today Monday.

Today is the deadline set by WBC champion Fury’s promoter, Frank Warren, with 3 December being mooted as the date for the bout.

Fury, 34, offered Joshua the fight despite the 32-year-old suffering a second successive defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in August and failing to regain the WBA (Super), WBO and IBF belts he lost to the Ukrainian in September 2021. However, Hearn said his team was getting the contract checked, claiming it was “all over the place” after waiting nine days to receive it.
